Hello List, 

during a small dive into a system with aeolus for one colleague, I discovered 
that some views was
really slow and seems that happen in randomic way.

This reason gave me the impression that we should do some benchmarks not with a 
mere ab or time curl
but actually measuring the load time of the transaction[1], because this will, 
from my point of view
identify possible holes/misconfigurations or simply things we forgotten to 
optimize/fix.

Also the video cited in [1] enlighted me on what really count to be measured.

To measure the transaction response, we can use a tool, Apache JMeter[2]. With 
this we will record
a session of our interest and execute the load test on it. [3]


Hope to have your feedback on this, 

Cheers,
-FV
